The end of Part I left off when I, onetime vicious detractor of Harry Potter, went to the library and checked out Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I wanted to read the series for myself, to understand whether my former opinions were true, as well as to scope out what made the bestselling books […]
